Squeak of the Week

If there’s one thing I like, it’s a darn tut-in good ol’ cup of coffee, and thanks to a mention on VH1′s 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs, I might have found the perfect cup. When I learned that Dave Mustaine, the lead guitarist, songwriter, and singer for the heavy metal band Megadeth had his own blend of micro-roasted, organic, fair trade coffee, I had to try it for myself. With a steep price tag and even steeper shipping cost I was a little skeptical, but I pressed on in curiosity.

With several flavors to choose from, I had to get a second opinion, so why not get Dave Mustaine’s?

I found a contact email on the site and dashed off a quick challenge, “What’s Dave Mustaine’s personal favorite blend of coffee?”

To my gleeful surprise I received this:

Good Morning Laura,
I spoke with Dave and his favorite blend is Peruvian.
Enjoy,

One freshly percolated pot later, I’m willing to say it was worth every penny of the $24.87 total cost including shipping. It was crisp and bold, and made me want to throw my fist up in metal horns of glory.

Well done, Dave. Even the packaging kept it real.

But don’t take my word for it, check out the office’s tasting notes in the comments below.
